One of my dad's high school friends introduced us to this meal after coming back from the Vietnam war. I have no idea what the real name is, we've always called it "finger food" because you eat it with your fingers... duh. It's been a comfort food since I was a small child. I still enjoy it, and now I share it with my kids. #fingerfood#familydinner#carbsandprotien#timliveson#comfortfood#toddlersizedplate

I was making this sausage cranberry stuffing/dressing today for our early Thanksgiving and realized I hadn't updated the blog post in 5 years. So I did and it's up on the blog today because it's so good I want you to try it (if you don't already have a favorite stuffing recipe - and well, maybe if you do...). 😍 . What makes this so amazing (really - I've had people tell me they don't like stuffing but they like this!)? A couple things: 1. I use fresh bread I hand-cut into cubes. Sometimes my homemade artisan or sourdough artisan and sometimes a good crusty loaf from the store, but fresh is best! 2. I use a spicy sausage that gives it just a little heat (but not too much). 3. I use a good amount of butter - this isn't the time to skimp, it's just 1-2 times a year. 😁 4. Finally, there is an untraditional ingredient that if I tell you, you may not want to try it - but you should, promise. 😉 . Have you started on any Thanksgiving cooking? Remember, you can also make my 100% whole wheat rolls in advance and the apple pie you can freeze and then bake from frozen (both these are on the blog - just use the search bar). . . . . . . #anoregoncottage#stuffing#dressingrecipe#thanksgivingfood#thanksgiving#happythanksgiving#thanksgiving2018#familydinner#familytime#thanksgivingdinner#blessed#turkey#givethanks

Looking for an easy chuck roast recipe? 😋 This Balsamic Slow Cooker Roast Beef only requires about 5 minutes of hands-on time, and then the Crock Pot does the work! 🙌🏼 My boys love this tender meat piled high on sandwich buns with potato salad or chips on the side. 😍 Recipe link in profile 👉🏼 @theseasonedmom! . . . https://www.theseasonedmom.com/slow-cooker-balsamic-beef-sandwiches/

I'm not sure what it is but I feel like I am seriously nesting right now. I joked with a colleague it's because I'm birthing this new business! Main floor revamp is still going full steam ahead and I feel compelled right now to clear out our cabinets, fridge and freezer. Tonight's conconction was butter chicken which hit the spot for 2 of the Chates that had crappy days. I've planned out our weekly menu so that I only need to purchase about 10 items instead of the 60 or so in my usual grocery haul. Everything else is coming from our stock pile! Stay tuned to my stories to see what I come up with!! #gottalovearevamp#homecooking#familydinner#momwin#menuplan

The other night we pregamed for thanksgiving with this dinner. Had to set the mood and get in the holiday spirit you know? 😉 . . . Turkey and carrots in the crockpot, mashed sweet potatoes and roasted balsamic brussel sprouts. . . . Healthy yummy dinner ✅ Quick and easy to make ✅ Minimal clean up ✅ Kid and man approved ✅ . . That’s a f*ucking win in my book! . . . #momwin#turkeydinner#crockpotcooking#dinnermadeeasy#healthyanddelicious#cookingmama

Who else is looking for a soothing smoothie recipe during this Thanksgiving week of gluttony?! We love spicing up our smoothies with various herbs and mint is an absolute favorite to settle the stomach. Don’t forget to hydrate this week with all of the food!

Our family eats at the table several times a week. We always have. Sometimes it looks like this though - squeezed between homework, running out to take a family photo (thank you tripod), and before dance and music lessons. Soup, fresh bread, newspapers, comics, Instagram. Together in silence. Peace. Love. Then there are days when it’s loud and there’s quarreling - but not today! ;-) . . . . . . . #familydinner#afamilythateatstogetherstaystogether#thirdculturefamily
